There are many photos of the NY city skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and a whole bunch of "famous" people. I used quotation marks because during the course of the meal, I discovered that my almost 12 year old didn't know who any of the people were.
After being a bit horrified at her not knowing, it quickly turned into shame - my own shame. For who should have educated her about these icons of the 50s and 60s.
Ok, well maybe I'm feeling a bit more shame because the "famous" people weren't any great historians, presidents, or movement leaders - no, they were...entertainers.
Yes, there were the pictures of the famous "Rat Pack", plus Marilyn Monroe and Debbie Reynolds. As a musician, I couldn't believe that she didn't know Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin or Sammy Davis, Jr.
So guess what we're going to do?
Listen to "Sway" (she actually knows this song from a Michael Buble album) and "I've Got You Under My Skin"....
I have a feeling there might be other movies and songs I need to share!
